Hi all...
Glad to have found this site.
l have suspected mold allergies (getting tested next month) and just left a workplace with mold growing on the ceiling, floors, and constant ceiling leaks and repairs.
It was somewhat controlled with Flonase and other allergy medication but l still had various, vague and pretty much constant symptoms l think could be attributed to it
So very excited at my new job and looking to better!

However..in my attempts to make sure my environment is mold free lately, l went digging around the bathroom. The wood paneling in the back...is completely molded. Black. l'm a renter and l've lived here for a considerable amount of time so it does make me nervous.
My questions are:
-After cleaning with bleach, is this something l need to mention to the maintenance team? l likely will.
-How much could mold in this area affect me? l'm in fairly large apartment and not at all within what l think would be breathing range from it, while not in the bathroom-but again l know nothing about how just this small amount might could be health-adverse.
The rest of the apartment is definitely mold free!
Thanks for any help.
Yes, tell maintenance.
Install a bathroom fan and be sure it runs before and after showers.
